Chapter 313 Rescue Huainan Country

The land of Huai and Si is already covered with war clouds at this time. (《》7*

Almost at the same time as Xiangzhuang invaded Bashu, King Han Xin of Qi personally led an army of 400,000 to attack Huainan. In less than a month, the army of Qi led to Lu County, Zou County, Teng County, Xue County, and Liu County, with the troops heading directly to Pengcheng. King Yingbu of Huainan was shocked when he heard the news and hurriedly led the army back to Pengcheng, and at the same time condemned the envoys to ask for help from the Chu army.

In the Shouze camp, Bi Shu was gathering to discuss matters.

There were serious differences among the generals on whether to send troops to rescue Huainan.

Ziche Shi bowed to Bi Shu and said, "General Wei, Huainan is our Great Chu allied country. The allied country is attacked. If the troops are not sent to rescue him, what's the use of this alliance? Also, if Huainan is destroyed by Qi, there will be an important barrier between our Great Chu and Qi. From then on, we will face the military front of the Qi army, which is not taken by military strategists."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Kai retorted loudly: "Although what General Ziche said is reasonable, the Qi army has many soldiers and generals, and Han Xin is even more unattainable. The king is out again. Who can compete with Han Xin?" At this point, Xiao Kai also looked at Bi Shu, who was standing tall in the chief, with disdain in his eyes.

Xiao Kai was dissatisfied with Bi Shu from the bottom of his heart. Why is he?

Bi Shu looked calm and did not take Xiao Kai's words to heart.

Ziche Shi frowned and retorted: "Han Xin may not be that powerful when using troops."

"That's because you haven't experienced the Battle of Gaixia in person!" Xiao Kai said coldly, "How brave was the former king? However, in the Battle of Gaixia, the 100,000 elite troops led by the former king were destroyed by Han Xin's battle. How could Han Xin's ability to use troops be imagined by you scholars who only know how to talk big?"

Ziche Shi laughed in silence and did not argue with Xiao Kai.

The conflict between the Chu generals and the Qin generals has been around for a long time. It is not surprising that Ziche Shi, as a member of the Qin generals, is not favored by Xiao Kai, the Chu boss. ("7*

Bi Shu's eyes finally fell on Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi.

Just in terms of qualifications, who can match Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi, including many generals in the account, including Bi Shu?

In terms of ability, Zhonglimei and Yu Ziqi are definitely not inferior to Mengshu, Ziche Shi and others, and compared with Xiao Kai, Tian Heng and others, they are even better than Xiao Kai.

Bi Shu asked, "General Zhongli, General Ziqi, what do you think?"

Zhonglimei turned his head and exchanged glances with Yu Ziqi, bowed and said, "General Wei, Huainan Kingdom and our Great Chu are friendly countries that depend on each other and cannot be rescued. However, it is an indisputable fact that Han Xin's army is out of reach. The last general thinks that sending a small number of reinforcements is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. If you want to save it, you should all set up a large army to rescue!"

Bi Shu couldn't help but smile, and the two generals, Zhongli and Ziqi, were quite conscious of the general.

"Old Zhongli, are you crazy?!" Xiao Kai was shocked and said angrily, "Start up all the troops to Huainan. Once the Liang army on the opposite side takes advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiujiang, what should we do?"

Bi Shu waved his hand and said, "No need to worry about this. Although the Liang army is elite, they are all infantry. The Meishan Huai River is separated from the Chen County and Jiujiang. As long as there is a naval army, the Liang army will not be able to cross the Huai River half a step!" After saying this, Bi Shu suddenly stood up and shouted sternly, "Zhonglimei obeys the order!"

Zhongli Mei hurriedly stepped forward two steps, bowed and said, "The last one is here!"

Bi Shu pulled out an arrow from the front of the case and shouted: "Lead 30,000 infantry troops and 20,000 naval troops to guard the Meishan Huai River. Before this general returns to Jiujiang, Liang army will not be allowed to cross the Huai River half a step."

Zhonglimei stepped forward to take the command arrow and replied with a loud bang: "Now!"

Bi Shu pulled out the second order arrow and shouted loudly: "I will obey the order!"

Meng Feng swung his cloak and stepped forward two steps, bowed and replied, "The last one is here!"

Bi Shu threw the arrow in his hand to Meng Shu and said in a deep voice: "Lead 20,000 cavalry to the front and immediately rush to Pengcheng!"

"Yes!" Meng Feng took the command arrow and responded with a loud bang. Then he turned around and left with Zhong Limei.

Bi Shu's cold eyes swept across the faces of the other generals one by one, and shouted in a deep voice: "The rest of the generals will immediately return to the camp to rectify their military and horse equipment, and follow the general to help Huainan in two days." After saying this, Bi Shu pulled out the king's sword given to Xiangzhuang, and said with murderous aura, "Who dares to disobey the order, I will never let you go!"

Huainan capital, Pengcheng.

King Yingbu of Huainan was walking back and forth on the city. The Qi army had already passed Liuxian yesterday. Liuxian was less than a hundred miles away from Pengcheng. In other words, the Qi army should be at the city at noon today.

Not far behind Yingbu, there were Prime Minister Kuai Che, General Zhao Zhen, Du General Fei Zhu and other civil and military ministers, and they all looked solemn. Even Kuai Che was frowning, not worried that he would not be able to do anything. Han Xin's reputation was so famous, and the 400,000 army was indeed a terrifying number.

Ying Bu suddenly turned around and asked Kuai Che: "Major, has the fourth group of messengers who asked the Chu army for help were sent?"

Kuai Che sighed and replied, "Report to the king, the fourth group of messengers had already set off half an hour ago.

Ying Bu nodded and said, "Calculate the time, the first group of messengers should also arrive at Shouhu Camp. What do you think is Xiangzhuang agree to send troops?"

Kuai Che replied: "Don't worry, the King of Chu will definitely send troops."

General Zhao Zhen, who was standing beside him, suddenly interrupted, "I'm afraid Xiangzhuang will only send only 30,000 or 20,000 Chu troops to rescue him."

Ying Bu was so shocked that he asked Kuai Che again: "Prime Minister, do you think Xiangzhuang really only sent 30,000 or 20,000 people?"

"I definitely don't know. I think the King of Chu will definitely bring all the troops from all over the country to rescue our country." Kuai Che's tone sounded very confident, but in fact, he was also unsure. Although Huainan and Chu were in a relationship with each other, facing Han Xin's 400,000 army, whether Xiang Zhuang was willing to do his best was unpredictable.

While speaking, a distant and low trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the northern wilderness.

"Hmm?" Yingbu suddenly felt a stern, and when he turned his head and looked into the northern wilderness, he saw nothing.

Kuai Che, Zhao Zhen and other civil and military ministers, as well as Huainan soldiers guarding the city, also looked up. While waiting for a suffocating moment, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "Look, big flag! Big flag of the King of Qi!"

When Yingbu, Kuai Che and others looked closely, they saw a purple flag slowly rising from the distant horizon in the north. Although they could not see the words on the flag clearly, just by looking at the color of the flag, you can know that Han Xin must have arrived, because in the whole world, only the Qi King's flag is purple.

"Here you." Ying Bu murmured, "Han Xin is finally here."

Kuai Che was also in a hurry. Huainan Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, Ying Bu and Han Xin finally decided to win and lose. For today, Kuai Che has been preparing for a full ten years! King Qi, King Qi, you did not adopt my strategy, and you lost the world. Today, Kuai Che will not let you get what you want.

In the wilderness in the northern suburbs of Pengcheng, 400,000 Qi troops were heading south in a mighty manner.

Under the purple flag fluttering in the wind, King Han Xin of Qi was wearing a tiger-skinned cloak and proudly rode on a snow-white horse. Behind Han Xin, dozens of guards and generals lined up in a row. Behind these generals were soldiers of Qi who were grounded in the sky. The flags floating in the wind almost covered the entire sky!

Suddenly, Han Xin raised his right hand and said calmly: "Send the order and set up camp on the spot."

In an instant, hundreds of cavalry commanders rushed towards the rear, and while galloping, he was yelling: "The king has an order, camping on the spot, and the king has an order, camping on the spot..."

In less than a moment, the Qi army that was moving forward stopped.

Then, a group of soldiers unloaded the tents and equipment from the baggage vehicles and began to set up camps. Han Xin came down from dozens of guards and 500 cavalry guards to outside the north gate of Pengcheng. Han Xin and Ying Bu were also old acquaintances. Kuai Che, the prime minister of Huainan, also acted as a staff member under Han Xin's account. It was normal for him to talk about the past before the war.

Han Xin and his men were approaching within a hundred steps before he stopped and bowed to Yingbu on the top of the city and said, "King of Huainan, are you safe?"

Ying Bu bowed his hand and said coldly: "King of Qi, your majesty is not inferior to that of those days."

Han Xin smiled slightly and said to Kuai Che behind Yingbu: "Mr. Kuai Che, can you always be nice?"

"I'll ask His Highness, King Qi." Kuai Che bowed his hand and said calmly, "Everything is fine."

"Is that true?" Han Xin sneered and suddenly said, "But the situation in Huainan Country does not seem to be very good? I came all the way south and found that most of the people in Huainan have dishes, which seemed to be unable to fill their stomachs?"

Kuai Che immediately showed a look of embarrassment. He was indeed not satisfactory in the governance of Huainan Kingdom. The reasons were of course many, but the main reason was that Huainan King Yingbu was a prisoner in Lishan. He only advocated absolute force and never paid much attention to the lives and death of the people in Huainan.

Han Xin's words hit Kuai Che's weakness and made him irrefutable.

"Han Xin, don't talk sarcasticly there." Ying Bu said furiously, "If it weren't for the robbery of the Liang army, how could the three counties in Huainan be as poor as they are now? Besides, how could your Qi State be stronger than my Huainan State? Don't think that if you brought 400,000 troops, I would be afraid of you, hum!"

After saying that, Ying Bu grabbed the iron-tied bow from Feizhu, pulled the bow and shot it at Han Xin.

There was only a muffled sound, and the heavy arrow of wolf teeth as thick as a thumb had already rushed to Han Xin's throat. Seeing that Han Xin was about to die under the Ying Bu's arrow, a young purple-robed general suddenly rushed out from behind Han Xin, and the long halberd in his hand was handed to Han Xin in an uncertain moment, barely blocking the arrow that Ying Bu was determined to kill.
